Look, yes, I could figure out how to do this with CVS, but frankly, CVS
sucks.  Not having changesets is just crap.  Hell, not being able to
*rename files* is crap.

That's why I was asking for the cvs tarball, so that I could mirror it
with history.  Yes, I could just get the cvs now and begin a svn repo, but
I think it makes sense to try to import the entire project history, if
possible.

I was joking about perforce, I don't think it makes any sense at all to
use perforce on an open source project.
